Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 242 The game of power is also a game of people’s hearts

"How to play?"

"Anyway, idle is idle…"

"How about... sir, if you are tired, please say a few more words?"

Lin Che paused in holding the chopsticks, raised her eyebrows at the sound, and also laughed angrily:

"Thieves don't leave empty space."

"I am talking about you."

"Can you be any more greedy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Not surprisingly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by Lin Che again, his face turned red and he was speechless, and his every move was full of embarrassment.

Who would have thought that the other party would not give him any face?
Queen Ma, who was sitting next to her, saw this and let out a long silent sigh, but she could only help to rescue her:
"Mr. Lin, try this dish. The black-bone chicken in the palace cannot be found outside."

"We are all our own people, so don't be polite."

"There are also roasted goose feet, dried bacon, and fried rice..."

"Try them all. Don't be an outsider. Which dish is more in line with your taste?"

"From now on, I will know everything in my mind."

Faced with Empress Ma's enthusiasm, Lin Che couldn't help but feel helpless, but she still gave her face and did not continue to ridicule Lao Zhu:

"Thank you very much for your hospitality."

"I have troubled you to cook the meal myself."

"I deserve it."

"You don't deserve such courtesy."

Queen Ma was picking up food for him and spoke earnestly:
"Mr. Lin is serious."

"There are a few home-cooked stir-fries that are not available on the table. Sir, please don't take it to heart, let alone belittle yourself."

"Looking across the world, if you, sir, are not worthy, then no one will be."

"What's going on between you men, I, a woman, can't interfere in..."

"That's all I can do. As long as you don't mind it, sir."

Queen Ma hesitated for a moment, but suppressed her curiosity and did not follow the trend to ask about the 'white sugar'.

Lin Che returned the gift solemnly. She still respected Empress Ma deeply in her heart.

wait for a second.

Seeing that Lin Che did not continue to attack, Old Zhu took a long breath, gave the girl a subtle thumbs up, and then said:
"Mr. Lin, don't go out. We can't hold anything in our stomach."

"You stopped talking halfway through..."

"We are anxious!"

"Let's just chat and let's have a drink."

"how?"

This statement came out.

The five brothers at the next table all pricked up their ears and peeked from time to time, obviously very interested in this.

This class is just comfortable to listen to.

It’s much better than the endorsement from the main hall.

The kings of Jin, Yan, and Zhou Zhou all had only one thought at the moment: If all the teachers were like Lin Che, who would take the risk and skip classes!
Say the other side.

Xu Miaoyun didn't deserve to be at the table at today's dinner, so she waited carefully from the side.

"It's okay to chat..."

Reaching out to take the toasted wine, Lin Che made three arrangements in advance:
"But, it doesn't matter where you finish it. If you haven't finished it, wait until next time."

"Your Majesty, don't open your mouth."

The voice did not fall.

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his chest and said excitedly:

"no problem."

"Every lesson arranged by the teacher is connected before and after. You can't mess up the rhythm..." "We understand!"

"Sir, just watch and talk, we have nothing to say!"

Lin Che raised her glass and made gestures in the air, sighing:

"I hope so…"

“To put it bluntly, the game of power is also a game of people’s hearts, and people’s hearts play a decisive role in power.

"We talk from the oldest to the youngest..."

"People's hearts determine the stability of a country. The long-term stability of a country must be based on the stability of people's hearts."

"Therefore, rights holders must also pay attention to the needs and interests of the people and ensure that people's livelihood is gradually improved. Only in this way can they win the hearts and minds of the people and make the country more stable and indestructible."

"In other words, as long as the people's hearts are on the side of the emperor, even if the emperor and his ministers are defeated in the struggle for power, they can still remain invincible."

"The common people are the most pure force in the world. There is no such thing as a frivolous person. Whoever treats us well will be supported by whomever we support. This is a matter of course."

Zhu Yuanzhang held his breath and listened intently. He couldn't help but nodded, recognizing Lin Che's point of view.

"Throughout the ages, too many sages have linked human hearts and rights. It is precisely because of the close connection that 'right theory' and 'human nature theory' have always interacted with each other."

After a pause, Lin Che continued:
"For example, Confucius' benevolent government and the innate kindness of people believe that people are inherently kind, benevolent and compassionate."

"Based on this 'theory of human nature', benevolent government is widely advocated, believing that those with rights should care for the people and win people's hearts with the power of morality."

"In contrast…"

“Han Feizi’s method cures the inherent evil in human nature and believes that people are naturally selfish and pursue personal interests.

“Therefore, we promote the rule of law and emphasize the use of laws and systems to constrain and regulate human behavior.”

"Maintain order with the law."

"Now, here comes the problem..."

"Your Majesty, do you think...Confucius is right, or is Han Feizi right?"

Facing the question thrown by Lin Che, Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched, and he looked like he had eaten a fly, and almost bit his tongue.

People's hearts are inherently good, and human nature is inherently evil.

The two factions have been quarreling for more than 1000 years, and there is still no winner.

Are you testing us?
Or do we do it?
Didn't you say you won't be angry?
at the same time.

The princes on the other side also looked at Lin Che in disbelief, feeling their scalps numb and their spines chilling.

The eternal topic of 'theory of human nature', who can answer this?
The question is too over the top!
In an instant.

There is no sound, and the needle drop can be heard.

a while.

"No, sir!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling uglier than crying at this moment, and he repeatedly begged for mercy:

"This question...isn't suitable for us either!"

"If we could explain this clearly, we might as well stop being an emperor and become a saint instead."

"The father-in-law is right, the mother-in-law is right...we still won't show our shame."

"Please teach me sir."

Seeing that Lao Zhu started to be smart and avoid talking about it, Lin Che couldn't help but laugh:

"Your Majesty, don't be nervous."

"It's an eternal problem. It's normal not to have an answer. I didn't say anything..."

"Besides, our topic is not 'theory of human nature', but the game of power."

Lin Che raised the glass and smelled the aroma of the wine. She had to say that Lao Zhu had quite a lot of good stuff, so she turned around and said:

"Whether it's good or evil, as long as he is still a human being, he has his own cognitive choices..."

"In this game of power, people's choices are often affected by interest considerations and personal perceptions."

"Some of these cognitions are innate, just like the 'theory of human nature' that has been debated for thousands of years. It is inherent in the mother's womb and cannot be influenced."

“But more of it comes from nurture and the urgent needs that exist now.”

"When faced with the temptation of rights, people tend to give up their principles in pursuit of interests, which also makes it easy for rights to manipulate people's hearts and control people's behavior."
